This wok has a round bottom, making it unsuitable for flat electric or flat induction stoves. It is big and heavy, weighing 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) and measuring 16 inches in diameter. It has a Canton-style design with two steel handles.

Before use, this wok must be seasoned to remove the protective oil. It should be hand-washed only, as it is not suitable for the dishwasher. Any carbon steel wok, including this one, may rust if not maintained properly, and it may take time to learn how to care for it.

The wok is a deep pan with a round bottom and small diameter, primarily used for "stir-frying" - fast frying with frequent stirring on a hot skillet. However, it can also be used for deep frying, preparing soups, steaming, and even smoking. The steel wok is suitable for open fire, and you can even take it with you outside the home and surprise friends with unbelievable Chinese dishes.

Always remember to season a carbon steel wok! Manuals for this process can be found on the internet and with the wok. Carbon steel kitchenware needs seasoning and maintenance to avoid rusting. The recommended washing routine is: Wash - Wipe - Fire - Oil.

Craft Wok is made of 15-gauge (1.8mm) carbon steel, ensuring it is heavy and big. If you are not comfortable with a large, heavy wok, this might not be the best choice for you. The wok is hand-hammered by Chinese professionals in Guangzhou, making it a traditional Canton-style Chinese wok pan. It is a popular choice among many professional Chinese chefs.
